Kris & Jessica’s Sparkling New York Wedding with a Cityscape at Their Side

Weddings never get old. There is a charm about two people starting their life together which is refreshing every time, even if you are witnessing the 100th wedding! There is intense electricity in the air every time which is unmissable. There are love, laughter and the couple is wrapped up in good vibes from friends and family. While you will see many weddings, there are some which depict the true spirit of couples getting married to the love of their life perfectly, and it translates from their heart to their faces and the ambiance surrounding them. Kris and Jessica are exactly that way. The effervescent zeal of this couple on their wedding day hits one like a breeze and takes one along on a fascinating ride along. We love the relentless livewire energy of this couple in love, which quite matches the city of New York. Let us have a glimpse of Kris and Jessica’s special day, as it tells quite a sweet tale of love!

 

Kris and Jessica bring the drama of New York to their wedding photoshoot and we couldn’t be any more impressed. They chose to host their wedding in the bustling city of New York, a city that has a lot to say and many stories to tell. While New York is full of so many real stories of people coming in from various places and phases of their life, there is still an enchanting vibe in this city that transcends all the other cities. It is glorious, full of drama, and is larger-than-life, something that instantly makes one’s love story a little more magical than it already is! Adored by lovers and muse of the photographers, the Big Apple of America, New York, is a crackling livewire of a city, full of skyscraping high rises, black and yellow taxis, people from all places and phases of life, and intriguing stories cohabiting in the iconic city of New York. A city that never gets boring, NYC is filled with a heady mix of colors and textures, painting a pretty picture, with no effort at all. With the huge range of idyllic structures dotting NYC, starting from the beautiful iconic Brooklyn Bridge to the glittering Times Square, from the urban backyard, Central Park to the glorious Statue of Liberty, each one of these structures makes the city what it is. A balanced mix of lush gardens, sparkling hotels, museums, and cuisines, NYC is a range of contrasting terrains and personalities existing together and complementing each other. From Brooklyn to Manhattan to New Jersey, NYC is a treat to the senses and a love story captured here is magic waiting to be explored. With choosing the bustling cityscape of New York City as the setting for their love story, Kris and Jessica invited drama and eccentric magic to their love story. And with the way their photos came out, It is apparent that New York was the perfect prop for this charming couple.

 

Kris and Jessica hosted their wedding ceremony at St. Vincent Ferrer Church, a Roman Catholic parish sitting pretty in the Upper East Side of ManhattanNew York City. Established in 1918 by the Dominicans; the attached priory cats as the headquarters of the Eastern United States Province of the order. The couple had a beautiful ceremony with the well-wishes of the friends and families here and then headed to Benchmark Restaurant for their wedding reception. A beautiful wedding venue in the heart of Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood, Benchmark Restaurant features a New American menu primarily focusing on pasture-raised animals and locally-grown produce. Centrally located in Brooklyn's bustling neighborhood at 339A 2nd Street at 5th Avenue, this restaurant is easy to get to and is highly acclaimed. Back between the 20s and 40s, the space Benchmark was used as an icehouse and a place to station goods that arrived on the banks of the Gowanus Canal. A historic wedding venue with a story to tell and a charming and inviting setting of the venue itself enhanced by warm exposed brick and arched windows, the venue provides the perfect setting for a wedding. Perfect for intimate events of around 15-45 guests indoors, the venue can accommodate up to 155 guests in total if the spacious Benchmark garden is also used optimally, which in itself can seat 100 guests comfortably. Kris and Jessica’s choice of the event space was perfect for their unique wedding and the size they had in mind. A stunning wedding with luscious green grounds, aging tall trees, romantic water fixtures and fountains, the interiors of the space has a charm of its own and is adorned with the most exquisite decor. We love the gorgeous setting that the location offers for the lovely couple to pose against and get those precious clicks.

 

The couple woke up feeling exhilarated and ready to get married on this sunny summer NYC day. Our gorgeous duo was dressed to the nines and looked like a dream together. Our blushing Jessica was wearing a white wedding dress with a higher neckline and a racer-back detail, giving her an elegant and unique look. We love everything about the dress, from the thin straps, the intricate embroidery of the dress, and the timeless trumpet cut, all working together perfectly. The sparkling waist belt added to the glam factor perfectly. Her hair was done up in a beautiful updo and sparkly hair accessory added to the sparkle which was again mirrored by the touches of jewelry that tied in the look together. Her makeup was minimal and was dressed up by her gorgeous smile. To complete the look, she carried a minimal bouquet of foliage and little sprinkle of delicate white flowers. The look was simple and spoke loud and clear in volume, which is what we absolutely love! Her bridesmaids were wearing a gorgeous purple color as their dresses which brought in a bold streak color to a simple palette. The bridesmaids carried little bouquets of white flowers to match the bridal whites! We love the balance between simple and regality which seems to be the theme of the wedding. Kris looked dashing on the wedding day as he wore a stunning charcoal-gray suit, white button-down, blue tie with white polka dots, a sparkly gold tie-pin, and a white pocket square. A white boutonniere dressed up his look and black formal shoes completed his ensemble. We love the way the look of the couple was primarily neutral with a bold streak here and there to add some fun! While the couple celebrated their special day with their close ones and had the time of their lives, they also visited some of the iconic structures of the city so that our New York wedding photographers could capture them around the tell-tale setting to lend a strong New-York vibe to their NYC wedding photo session.

 

A wedding day is a giant blur, one event gliding and fusing into the other, the nerves and the emotions running high, and everything feels surreal, like an out-of-body experience. While it is one of the most important days of your life, it is surprising how little you can remember from that day that then you would like to. While some moments stand out in all its glory, others slip away like sand from a fist. This is where your wedding album comes in. It holds all of those memories which seem to slip away among the chaos of the event. This way, you get to hold on to them forever and preserve those slipping memories forever. Our New York wedding photographers have done a fabulous job of capturing beautiful moments of Kris and Jessica’s special day in the most stunning frames. We love the couple photography amongst beautiful greenery, and the eccentric photographs captured in the iconic NYC locations, inviting the city to play a role in their love story! We love the couple captured against the iconic streets, with the blurring lights in the background. Be it the soft and delicate moments of the couple photography or the fun and eccentric moments captured against the cityscape, be it the detail shots or the tender moments, everything is captured by our wedding photographers in New York with great expertise and grace, ensuring that those moments get to live on forever within the pages of the couple’s wedding album. This is something that will always bring back fond memories of a day well spent amongst good company.

 

While every wedding celebration is heart-warming and beautiful, there are some which touch us in a way others couldn’t. Kris and Jessica’s wedding day seems to fit squarely in the later section. The striking personality of the city itself, along with the likeability and charm of Kris and Jessica create quite a few beautiful moments for the couple to capture forever. The drive to do something unique and beautiful is truly refreshing and will take this couple a long way! There is something truly unique about this couple and the setting that they chose which says a lot about them, and as they walk away after the wedding, they are surely heading towards a beautiful future ahead of them!
